Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 shallot
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
½ lemon
½ lime
2 anchovies, finely minced, optional-I never use anchovies anymore
1 avocado
¾ cup olive oil
½ cup cream, optional-I never use the cream anymore
a ton (at least 1 cup) of chopped herbs such as parsley, tarragon, cilantro, basil, and chives
Salt and Pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and chop fine the shallot and garlic and macerate in the vinegar, a big squeeze of lemon, and a smaller one of lime. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Add the anchovy, if using, and the flesh of the avocado. Mash together with a fork. Whisking with the fork, gradually incorporate the olive oil and cream (if using) - as if you were making a thin mayonnaise.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small shallot, sliced
1 garlic clove, sliced
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup loosely packed parsley leaves, divided
¼ cup cilantro leaves
¼ cup basil leaves
½ cup light olive oil
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
½ avocado

1 tablespoon finely chopped chervil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the shallot, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, purée the parsley, cilantro and basil on medium speed. Slowly add the olive oil and blend, stopping to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes a smooth, bright green purée. Add the reserved shallot mixture and purée until smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Slowly add the herb oil, drop by drop, in a thin, steady stream until it begins to emulsify into a mayonnaise-like consistency. Continue adding the olive oil, whisking constantly, until all the olive oil is incorporated. Stir in the water to thin out the mayonnaise. Smash the avocado into the mayonnaise using a fork or whisk, then whisk in the tarragon and chervil. Season with salt and pepper.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Green Goddess is a California classic. It makes a great dip for crudités and a wonderful dressing for robust lettuces like romaine hearts, but it's too thick and intense for delicate spring mixes. Although I've made the anchovies optional, I recommend them because they add depth to the flavor. If salt is an issue for you, leave them out.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing image

This creamy, herby, addictively delicious sauce is not only my favorite salad dressing, but is one of my favorite dips as well. You can of course tweak the acidity with more or less lemon, as well as play with the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.

HEARTS OF ROMAINE & GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Hearts of Romaine & Green Goddess Dressing image

Categories     Salad     Winter

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 or 3 heads romaine lettuce, or 6 to 8 heads Little Gem
1 shallot
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 salt-packed whole anchovies
1/2 ripe avocado
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
3 tablespoons chopped tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped basil
Fresh-ground black pepper
Salt
3 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Remove the outer dark leaves from the romaine lettuce, or any damaged outer leaves from the Little Gems. Cut off the stem ends and separate the leaves. Wash the leaves thoroughly and spin-dry in batches. Roll them up in a clean dish towel and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Peel and finely dice the shallot and garlic, and in a medium bowl, macerate in the white wine vinegar and lemon juice. Rinse, bone, and finely chop the anchovies and add to the bowl. Add the avocado flesh and mash the mixture with a fork. Whisking with the fork, gradually incorporate the olive oil and cream, as if making a thin mayonnaise. Stir in the parsley, tarragon, cilantro, and basil, and add a few grinds of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and add more salt or vinegar if needed.
  • Arrange the lettuce in a large bowl, on a platter, or on individual plates, and pour the dressing over the leaves. Sprinkle with the chives and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, tarragon, and chervil add a vibrant flavor to the dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Don't over-process the dressing: The dressing should be slightly chunky, with visible pieces of herbs and nuts. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its texture.
  • Taste the dressing before serving: The dressing should be well-balanced, with a bright, tangy flavor. If it's too sour, add a little more honey or maple syrup. If it's too bland, add a little more salt or pepper.
  • Use the dressing on a variety of dishes: Green goddess dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes, including salads, grilled vegetables, fish, and chicken.
  • Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days: The dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Green goddess dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright, tangy flavor and creamy texture, green goddess dressing is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
